  • Well done, Jay. This is a great summary of the process.
  • Thanks for this Jay.

    I recently passed the test and have returned my contract etc. I was told I need to now contact my SR. But I emailed and added him to Yahoo IM 4 days ago and have not heard anything. Is this normal do you think?

    Thanks
  • Really excellent post, but just to reiterate something I have pointed out before, if you work at it and learn the ropes, you really shouldn't be earning £3 an hour...

    From what others have said, the Senior Researchers are unpredictable in terms of how often they appear online. Give it another day or two and then prehaps send another email or try contacting AQA's recruitment helpline.

    Nope, you just work whenever you want.

    Just make sure you answer some questions each month to keep your account active, or it'll be terminated.
